This should be a tight game, but we think Adelaide Strikers have just enough to get over the line.

They also have the upper hand over Sydney Thunder, winning 13 of the 23 meetings between the two sides that produced a result.

We expect a first-innings score of around 165, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
